For this UT Austin senior session, Avery and I spent the evening exploring some of the most iconic spots around campus while incorporating personal details that made her photos uniquely hers.


We started with a classic, timeless look. Her dress paired beautifully with UT’s historic architecture, creating elegant portraits throughout the School of Architecture courtyard, iconic green doors, walkways, and archways. Since she is pursuing a career in education, she also brought her stole signed by the students she taught during her final semester, along with special books representing her future as a teacher. These meaningful details captured both the impact she has already made and the journey ahead.


Later, she changed into a UT jersey by the fountain to celebrate her Longhorn pride. Paired with her customized Texas boots, this look brought a fun and spirited energy to her gallery while showcasing her love for the university.


Of course, we had to end the evening with a classic champagne pop in front of the UT Tower — the perfect way to celebrate this milestone and the exciting chapter ahead.


Tips for Planning Your UT Austin Senior Pictures


If you’re planning your own UT Austin senior session, here are a few things to consider:


Choose outfits that tell your story.

A mix of styles creates variety in your gallery. Consider bringing one outfit that feels timeless and one that represents your personality, school spirit, or future goals.


Bring meaningful details.

Personal touches like a favorite book, sports gear, career-related items, or sentimental pieces make your photos feel uniquely yours.


Explore different areas of campus.

UT Austin has so many beautiful locations within walking distance. Combining architecture, greenery, and iconic campus details creates a gallery that feels complete.


Celebrate this accomplishment.

Graduation is a once-in-a-lifetime moment. Don’t be afraid to add something fun — whether that’s confetti, champagne, a favorite accessory, or a piece that represents your journey.
